@robsentertainment9774 it's hit and miss out there. The spots at the bottom are the best from what I've heard.

@@nhk_outdoorsbottom ?

@@nhk_outdoors oh ok thank you and what do you mean about bottom?

@zairew_ I go back and forth with a kicks high flyer full and modified choke.

@@nhk_outdoors Nice, Im near the houston area and I'm gonna do my first hunt at either Jhurst or mad bay. any tips/recommendations?

@zairew_ At Hurst the mottled duck and 1200 arces area been doing good. Little ridge been ok and big ridge hasn't been that good this year. Also, some of the walks might be a little muddy. I use a small sled to carry a dozen decoys, blind bag and stool. It makes things easier.

@jasonrogers8344 this was spot #7 at Guadalupe Delta WMA.

@ okay thank you

Lol, thanks. Sometimes I think I should bring my turkey choke!😂

@@ABetterOutdoors absolutely! We'll get on them again!

Maybe some mallards will start showing up next, lol....

@justinmitchell82 Yeah, i hear about a few wood ducks, and mallards get shot in the marsh every year. I saw someone shot a drake wood duck at Hurst last week, this could have been a hen that was with him.

@DustinVia haha, yeah only like 4 spots left when it was my turn to pick.

@texasvictorygarden7024 i hear ya. That's why I avoid some of the places that have big gators.

@@jasonrogers8344 1200 #8

@ABetterOutdoors thanks, yeah gotta watch out in front of you and take it slow. They hide very well!

@ejcmech4778 Yup, good ol clash of clans lol. I mainly hunt along the coast southwest of Houston.

Donteatmydonuts from clash of clans is here 😂

@jamesmckee8022 no, not at the Sargent Unit.

No blinds. They have a reflective marker in the marsh of where your spot is at. They ask you to set up within 30 yards of the marker. Yes, bring decoys. I bring a dozen.

@@marshzajicek4144 not very deep, knee high would be the highest. They have drains that regulate the depth of the compartments.

Did you ever try to call on a Thursday and hunt another day other than you were assigned? I put in to get a spot this year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@marshzajicek4144 If you're drawn, you can only hunt the Saturday and Wednesday. The years I didn't get drawn ive called a few times on Thursday to see if they have any available compartments, but they didn't. I've noticed the ducks would come from east side. They roost on the main San Bernard NWR area.

Appreciate it! Did you put in for the lottery this year? This is my first time, I normally hunt MAD but figured it was literally right down the road from me so I would give it a shot.

@marshzajicek4144 I sure did. Did you get a confirmation email from Roland Davis. Usually, he'll reply back that he got the application, but he didn't this year, and I emailed him twice. Guess we'll find out October 9th.

@agduke3354 nah, I had been pretty busy. Also, it was too hot for me to be hiking around in the marsh!😅

@@back2backfishin615 Guadalupe Delta WMA Mission Lake Unit.

@chzxriot1481 thanks...So between 4am to 4:30am the biologist will open the gate and hand a numbered tag to each vehicle that is hunting. Everyone then drives to the check station. Sometime after 4:30am the biologist will put another set of tags in a bucket. He then draws the tags out of the bucket with the first numbered tag being the first pick and so on in order. Some people do get there the night before and sleep, but it makes no difference in the lottery. I usually get there around 3:30-3:45am.

@@nhk_outdoors thanks man!

@@nhk_outdoors how crowded is mad island on the daily basis for duck hunting?

@samarnold1236 thanks...most of the time I don't call, decoys work good enough. If I do call, it I'll use a gadwall call or bluewing teal call.

@@nhk_outdoors Thanks for the tip and best of luck out there!

@davidfoster1209 it's possible. There's a canal that runs along the north side and wraps around to the east side. Looks deep enough for a kayak. The walks to the compartments are on levees, so it's easy but long.

@LongviewGarage lol. I had one with me, but the clip had broke off.

@@nhk_outdoors sucks

@LLDWITHJ thanks, subbing to you now!

Yup, I might have to try teal hunting if fishing isn't any good next month.

@@horaciomaldonado7205 thanks!

@daniel42020 thanks, I'm always missing out when the surf is good.

@owenburke5798 Thanks, I was hoping for better results, but oh well, I still enjoyed it.

@VictorSanchez-uk4tk for public land hunting, I suggest getting a sled to carry your decoys, stool, and dry bag. I only use a dozen decoys. Some places like Guadalupe Delta are first come, first serve, so to get a good spot, some people get there early and sleep in their trucks. Also, be prepared to walk in muddy conditions that can make it tough. Some walks are simple others are harder.

@@nhk_outdoors thank you man Appreciate it Hopefully I’ll be able to make it out there this year!

@@nhk_outdoors I really Appreciate your Videos Helped me Out a lot to get an Idea of Everything and how Public Land works!!

@VictorSanchez-uk4tk no problem. Let me know when you go and I can give u some more advice.

Haha, heck yeah. Something a little different for the people that watch till the end.

@sambeauxfulkerson7892 not really. The last time I tried, I didn't get any bites. I don't hear a lot of people catching trout on top waters in the surf. I know it happens, tho, but I just stick with my swim baits.

@@nhk_outdoors it’s weird bc in Louisiana i smash em on top water, but i never hear of people catching them on top water in Texas. I’m thinking about making a trip down to matagorda soon to try it out

Matagorda Harbor would be the closest ramp for boats.

@@nhk_outdoors Thanks for the reply I’ll going to matagorda Saturday I want to fish east bay any advice as far as shallow areas I have a surface drive so should be ok

@Karen-pu1kz ive only done good in the three mile area. Water has been really high so I'm sure you won't have problems getting to places. The little cuts and holes I fish don't produce as good as when the water is high. Saturday should be a good day with the wind calming down.

At Three Mile cut. I launch from two different spots. If I fish the three mile lake, I drive straight up from the beach as far as I can go. That launch on this video is where I fish the small cut that goes from the bay to three mile. Same as the first launch, but before I get to the water I take a right for about 50 yards. Then go back north along the swallow flat.

@@nhk_outdoors thanks for the insight! I just got a kayak hoping to try out matagorda! Or oyster lake. Seems very fishy there

@yoink_fishing no problem. You can message my instagram account (nhk_outdoors) so that i can give u better info if u have an account. I can send you maps and different locations of a few spots I go to.

It was an honest mistake and the guy was a real d*ck about it. $350 ticket which I tried to fight because I actually did check in just not with a game warden or wildlife biologist. The judge DA and game warden all knew each other, and I was found guilty…

Yeah, I heard which areas are better than others. So next time I get to hunt there, I'll know what compartments to pick.

Yup, even tho I didn't shoot anything, I'm hooked. It just sucks not many public land places around southeast Texas.

#2

Man, that was a heck of a hunt. We had a lot of birds flying around. They wanted to be there no matter what. Since we didn't have much cover, we set the decoys out further than usual and put in a full choke.

I hear ya! Well, congrats on a nice hunt!

Kicks High Flyer Modified on my SBE3

Yeah, that would be nice, but there's not much public land that's holding geese from what I know.

Heck yeah! I’ll check out your channel.
